Two studies published in the February 2008 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine provide even more evidence that the clotting drug Trasylol is dangerous to the public. The news comes amid a flurry of lawsuits filed by those who experienced severe side effects after being administered the drug.

The first study looked at about 10,000 patients who had bypasses at Duke University Medical Center from 1996 through 2005.

It found that 6.4 percent of patients who were given Trasylol died within 30 days of the surgery, a rate nearly 2.5 times higher than patients who got another drug or who received no treatment for bleeding.

The second study, financed by Bayer, looked at about 78,000 patients nationwide from 2003 to 2006.

Researchers found the risk of death was 64 percent higher in the Trasylol group than in those taking a comparison drug.

If you were given Trasylol during or after surgery and suffered a heart attack or stroke, encephalopathy, or kidney failure, please fill out the form below for a free case review.
